I just got Christopher Baker's "Tulipa" book in the mail today. This photo looks EXACTLY like one of Baker's masterpieces!! #4214009

Colleen Farrell April 26, 2007 0

Thanks so much, Glenn and Ken! That's very cool, Ken! I ordered the book, too--it's coming by media mail so may take awhile to get here. I'd really like to do a whole series of flowers like this; not many have the graceful form of tulips, though!
